PTR 523 - Soft Tissue Techniques

This course will provide the students with a basic

foundation for hands-on soft tissue techniques.

The student will gain an understanding of the

muscular and myofascial system, and how soft

tissue treatment can improve a person’s ability

to heal, ability to move, and the person’s general

health and well being. The course will be grounded

in the fundamentals of classic massage techniques,

but the student will also be exposed to a whole

series of soft tissue evaluation and treatment

techniques. The course will be taught in

coordination with Gross Anatomy, and the students

will learn palpatory skills of the structures that

are being studied in Gross Anatomy.
